Art Set Up

Here's a checklist for getting the most out of your Large format files:

For best results, use professional printing & design software applications. (Adobe Creative Suite, QuarkXpress)

Build files at the final size of your graphic. If this is not possible build, at 1/2 size or at
1/4 size. Avoid going below 1/4 size.

Always build file in proportion to final size.

For best results, utilize vector programs to create spot color logos and basic type designs

Scan your images to achieve correct dpi at final size. (i.e. inkjet - 150dpi, photographic - 200dpi) cmyk for print, rgb for photographic processes.

If necessary, crop scans to include only desired image area.

If scaling scans, an even higher resolution will be required. Double the dpi for 1/2 size,and quadruple the dpi for 1/4 size to achieve the desired dpi at final size.

As always, include your fonts (screen and printer) and linked files.

Provide marked up lasers and color match requirements.

Tips & Tricks:
If sending large files please place into one folder and use Stuffit or Zip it. If the file's too large for email you might consider using a free transfer site like yousendit.com.
